~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

Went with Seth, Vivien and Charlie to Antoine's - Friday, February 26, 1965

Seth and I walked around campus and through Parkville, then went to see the Alfred Hitchcock movie, Vertigo. We met Vivien and Charlie coming out so they invited us to go along with them to Antoine's for pizza. Vivien and Charlie are a lot of fun to be with, and we'll be doubling with them tomorrow night - that's been planned most of the week. I feel as if Seth is having to spend a lot of money "on me," but I guess guys are used to as much. Holly came for reading again and I got paid this time. I should be pretty well set by the time I get my education department pay, too.
